KANSAS CITY ART WALK SEPTEMBER 2008
Featuring concepts by J. M. Porters. The display
showcase fish "swimming" one block upstream on Main Street in Kansas City, Mo. These original fish sculptures, either in metal, stone, glass or lucite symbolize the strength and determination of swimming upstream - the same tenacity and persistence of someone who chooses to start life anew. The fish, some as long as 48 inches, will be "swimming" between large leaf sculptures up to 5 feet tall. The fish and leaves can be placed indoors or outdoors, as a group or individually.

Thank you for making our first Kansas City Art Walk a success. With your help we were able to provide winter supplies, including sleeping bags, long johns, witer jackets and more. We hope the Art Walk increased awareness of both area homeless and the benefits of dealing with the resulting issues on a preventive basis. We could not have done it without your support.
Our sincere thanks to all your supports.

City of Mission Food Program
Official announcement date June 17, 2009 with unveiling of 'Be The Change' Sculpture at Shawnee Mission Parkway and Roe
Mission’s Community Garden is located at the corner of Foxridge Rd. and Lamar Ave. on vacant land owned by Johnson County Wastewater. The plan is to construct 10 raised beds totaling 1000 square feet of planting area. So far four beds are constructed and there are signs of growth from the vegetables. Lettuce, spinach, green onions, carrots, and tomatoes are planted so far, and when more beds are build additional tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, watermelon, and sweet corn will be planted. The plan is to donate most of the food to low-income residents who qualify for our franchise fee rebate program, meaning they live on limited incomes. Food will also be donated to volunteers who help harvest the vegetables.

About The Soloist:
In “The Soloist,” an emotionally soaring drama about the redemptive power of music, journalist Steve Lopez (Oscar® nominee Robert Downey Jr.) discovers Nathaniel Anthony Ayers (Oscar® winner Jamie Foxx), a former classical music prodigy, playing his violin on the streets of L.A. As Lopez endeavors to help the homeless man find his way back, a unique friendship is formed, one that transforms both their lives. “The Soloist” is directed by Joe Wright (Golden Globe winner for Best Drama and Oscar® nominee for Best Picture “Atonement”). This film has been rated PG-13 for thematically elements, some drug use and language.
